Former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga is expected to accompany three activists to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Monday, amid fears of abductions.
In a statement on Sunday, Mutunga identified the activists as Boniface Mwangi, Hanifa Adan, and Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid.
The three activists are scheduled to appear at the DCI headquarters on Kiambu Road at 11 a.m. on Monday.
"Tomorrow at 11 am I shall accompany Hanifa Adan Hussein Khalid and Boniface Mwangi to DCI_Kenya HQs on Kiambu Road. Mwangi was almost abducted outside the City Mortuary on Friday contrary to Art. 238(2)(b) of the Constitution. Join us in solidarity," he said on X.

A black double-cab pickup and a white Toyota Prado were seen trailing the popular social media user before he was forcibly abducted in South B, Nairobi, on Sunday evening.
Several other youths who led the protests have reportedly gone into hiding, claiming to be trailed by unknown individuals.
During the first 'Occupy Parliament' protests on Tuesday, Boniface Mwangi was among three protesters who spent the night in police custody. They were released on Wednesday last week after the Milimani court declared it had no jurisdiction to hear their case
